Adverse impactaka “80%” or “4/5th” rule
A company interviews 60 males and 40 females.
They hire 30 males and 10 females. What is the selection rate of females? Does adverse impact exist?
Adverse impact
Answer:Yes.
Calculation:50% of the males (high group) were hired. To determine adverse impact, multiply 4/5 or 80% of 50% = 40%.
Adverse impact occurred because 25% of the females (low group) were hired, not the required threshold of 40%.
